An eventful Kopitiam trip
Thanks to 3 late people, i was "nominated" to go get dinner for everyone at audible hearts yesterday....orders I received 1. Shao rou shao ji ji xiong rou extra large 2. Xiao wan mian mee kia no intestine chili abit 3. 2 popiah no chili 4. Yupian milk 5. Yupian fried no milk In the process of the 5 min walk from hpb to sgh kopitiam, I strategically planned the sequence in which I shall buy the food... I decided to start with order number 1 so as to prevent lugging around of 3 packs of soupy stuff... I approached the stall, whip out my iPhone, and read the order out word for word... (Kenneth Ler is a super glutton... and I feel so paiseh placing such a greedy order since I m so not a greedy person) I look up from my iphone and I was met with smiles from the stall's aunty. You know the kind of laugh-at-you smile. And I tot it was due to the ridiculous order... Aunty says: "Zhe li bu mai shao rou, zhi mai ya fan! " I was lyk huh?? Cos my brain somehow don't register spoken Chinese anymore... (esp after sec 4) So I proceeded to repeat the ridiculously long order "Shao rou shao ji ji xiong rou extra large" And the aunty repeated what she said... And I finally got wad she meant -_- I took a step back look up at stall sign and realised I was indeed at duck rice stall... omg so malu Moving on to the next order, I went to the right stall and whip out my iPhone n read the order: "Xiao wan mian mee kia no intestine chili abit" The uncle was like "what tine???" I said: "no intestine" Uncle point to his bowl of raw liver and say " don't want liver isit? Zhe li mei you what-tine..." I was like okay crap he don't have intestine in any of his ingredient bowls so I figured that yockie placed her order wrongly resulting in my malu-ness ): Throughout the whole process of cooking the noodle, the uncle kept laughing away and repeating "what-tine?" So as soon as it food wad ready, I quickly took it and left... Moving on to the next order... I was collecting my popiah order (that went rather well) when i noticed the noodle shop uncle frantically waving in my direction... " ni de mian!! Ni de mian mei na" Huh I thought I collect already? But how come he really seems to be calling me?? Everyone was lyk looking at me so I decided to walk over to the shop... Turned out I took the soup without the mee... Another reason for the uncle to laugh ): Thankfully the yu pian mi fen orders were not as problematic as the rest...phew... Hopefully I won't need to get dinner for everyone in near future (: spare myself some malu-ness haha... (: back to top? |
